AHRQ's Fast Stats Tool On Opioid-Related Hospitalizations
AHRQ's Fast Stats database, part of AHRQ's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, provides updated statistics on opioid-related hospitalizations for researchers, policymakers, clinicians, and others who are tackling the opioid epidemic.
The opioid-related updates include 2015 inpatient data for 28 States, 2015 emergency department data for 19 States, and 2016 quarterly inpatient data for 14 States.
You can use the database to find where your State ranks. For example, in 2014, data showed that the three States with the highest opioid-related hospitalization rates were Maryland, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia. The three States with the lowest rates were Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming.
